xfce4-mixer is not started correctly from the settings menu

[Lucas Weel]

Binary package hint: xfce4-mixer

In Xubunu 7.10 when mixer settings is selected from the Menu: Applications | Settings | Mixer Settings the xfce4-mixer starts up with the mixer options dialog. There is no way to reach the volume controls from there.

Only after starting the xfce4-mixer with Alt-F2 Run Program. Xfce4-mixer starts with the volume controls panel.

I had expected to see, Xfce4-mixer start with the volume contols panel from the Menu: Applications | Settings | Mixer Settings.

What happend instead:
From the Menu: Applications | Settings | Mixer Settings, I got the xfce4-mixer options dialog and no way to reach the volume contols.

Hopfully this can be fixed, for a better Xfce GUI on Ubuntu.

Best regards, Lucas Weel.

It seems to be that the "Mixer settings" in the menu is an entirely different application than xfce4-mixer. The problem might just be that xfce4-mixer can not be reached from the menu (though I believe it can be opened using the Mixer panel plugin).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - the Jaunty Jackalope. It won't be fixed in previous versions of Ubuntu because the package doesn't fit the requirements for backporting. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports for more information.
